44 Annual Report 2022 MKH supports community-based programmes and sustainable initiatives intended to improve the wellbeing of disadvantaged people and reduce socio-economic disparities through various corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) activities such as charity donation drives, financial aid, sponsorship for local authorities and school aid. We recognised the importance of engaging and supporting our communities. We donated self-care sets to students and cash donations to 3 welfare homes in Kuala Lumpur and Kajang to assist in their needs and management cost. Our Back to School Program provided self-care sets to 60 students from schools in Kajang. In addition, we also initiate MKH Pandai @Schools Program in partnership with Pandai Education Sdn Bhd, an initiatives to support and help the students to improve their academic performance through online learning. 60 students from schools in Kajang benefited from this 6 months program. During the financial year, we contributed approximately RM597,009 in community engagement that supported a total of 32 beneficiaries comprising education institutions, local authorities and non-profit organisations. Our Plantation Division had actively conducted the anti-COVID-19 programmes. These included socialisation efforts to educate our workers on COVID-19 prevention measures, physical distancing, cleanliness, sanitisation, quarantine procedures and implementation of controlled entry and exit at our plantation check points. Our continued efforts to ensure all parties’ health and safety, had to date been well-received by the workers and local communities at large. Our Plantation Division in East Kalimantan, Indonesia is operating as usual albeit with added biosecurity measures against COVID-19. Thorough programs had been implemented to ensure the safety of our workers and neighbouring communities. To-date, our plantation was able to ensure an uninterrupted process workflow for continued sustainability and revenue generation. Given our plantation’s success in the combat against the pandemic, our management was invited to serve as part of the local authorities’ think tank towards the sustainability of the province’s efforts in crisis management. Part of our initiative included continued socialisation of biosecurity measures to educate the general public, reinforced with donation of masks to communities identified to be at risk from the pandemic. In FY2022, PT MKH has been awarded for its excellent engagement in COVID-19 Prevention Program at Workplace, a Platinum Category Award and Zero Accident Award. Close bonds with our local communities are therefore a key priority to our Plantation Division. Apart from actively conducting the COVID-19 programs at workplace, our Plantation Division committed in helping the communities thrive, while ensuring their well-being. During the financial year, PT MKH contributed approximately RM195,816 in community engagement through various CSR activities involving social, religious, health and sports as our sustainable efforts towards the community. As a seasoned builder of affordable housing, we commit to escalate our brand presence in the real estate industry and also engage the community where the company operates in a responsible and sustainable manner. The Board is of the view that the existing sustainability practices adopted are adequate and pertinent to steer the Group’s sustainable growth. Nonetheless, it will consider the need to implement other sustainability practise, as appropriate, to complement existing ones as the Board monitors the sustainability performance of the Group’s operations on an ongoing basis.
